Our Union

the primrose sin of long unwaxing days
hours religious as a dreidel
in near earth orbit
we pluck dry flowers
like flirting genesis
like writing the noon-day Bible
and dispel a magic
we’d long forgotten wrote.

Eight Days and Nights

Light the candles, flames so bright 
   Chanukah's here eight days and nights
Spin the dreidel 'round and 'round
   Potato latkes frying, yummy sounds

A few coins for the kinder
   Precious silver gelt
Chanukah's a minor festival 
   ~ deeply felt

Thanksgivukkah

Happy Thanksgivukkah!
Latkes and turkey!
Protocol here is
A little bit murky.

It hasn't happened
For thousands of years
And we'll all be dead
Before it reappears.

So watch all your football
And spin your  best dreidel.
Slurp up that pumpkin soup
With some kneidel.

Savor these holidays;
Celebrate twice,
'Cause having Thanksgivukkah's
'Specially nice!

A Happy Minor Holiday

A happy minor holiday
  That's what Chanukah was
'Till its proximity to Christmas
   gave it an American buzz

In days of old, we lit the candles
   Spun the dreidel** for mere pennies --
Now with ceremonies in the public square
   and lavish presents, oh-so-many

Chanukah's theme of dedication
   ~ Does there remain any?



** a dreidel is Yiddish for a spinning top

Holiday Music

When Christmas music blasts in stores,
It jangles all my nerves.
I really do not understand 
The purpose that it serves.

Such gaiety seems forced and fake,
Especially to me,
‘Cause I’m not one to celebrate
With wreath or Christmas tree.

But recently inside a shop
The dreidel song did blare.
You’d think I’d be excited
By a happening so rare.

However, you’d be wrong
For the reaction that I had
Was that songs of Chanukah, in stores,
Sound equally as bad!
